My DH drives a 2004 Highlander. It's not a hybrid though. We just started biking after a long hiatus so we don't have a rack yet. I have put my bike in the back and there's plenty of room, but I can't get it in there myself. I'm 5'4" and there's no way I can "heft" it in there alone since it sits a bit high for me.

As far as the Highlander we love it. This is our 4th Toyota and love the product. It's very comfortable to drive and ride in. We just returned from a road trip of 1600 miles.

We talked to a guy when we were in Northern MN who just bought a Hybrid and had driven it from Virginia. He loved it and said the mileage on the highway was in the low 30's, not at good around town.
